To my almost

I deserve better.

The day I met you, oh God, I almost hate the day that I met you. If I would have known that day the emotional roller coaster that you would be sending me on, I would have turned around and walked away.

I gave you everything I had, because when I fall for someone, I fall hard and completely. And you, you watched me as I fell on my face right in front of you, taunting me with what I couldn’t have, and not even bothering to check and see if I was okay. You walked away, and face down on the cold, hard concrete is where I stayed.

You are what I call my almost. You almost loved me. We almost made it. You were almost mine. And the word ‘almost’ stings a little bit more than the memories of you and me. I should’ve known you would bring me heartace.

You are the person I would have said yes to, if only you were interested in asking. You are the person that made it seem like you care, when, in all reality, you probably didn’t. You are the person that I have wanted to tell about all of the good and bad things that happen in my life, but now you’re not there. You vanished just as quickly as you appeared. You were the skinny love that I thought could work.

However, that wasn’t atypical of you, because while you were my almost, I was your sometimes. I was your ‘when I feel like it’. I was your ‘when I’m not busy’. I was your friend, unless you felt like acting like it was something else.

Now that we don’t see each other I think of what we could have been. I think about what we almost were.But you don’t even think of me at all.

But that’s okay, because I deserve better.

I deserve someone who will think that the sun rises just to see me. I deserve someone who isn’t so hot and cold about wanting to be with me. I deserve someone who is willing to commit to me. I deserve someone who doesn’t take grey areas to their advantage. I deserve someone who chooses me every day. I deserve someone who gives me the love that I try so desperately to give to everyone else. That person wasn’t you, and you only have yourself to blame for that.

Maybe one day, you’ll realize that I deserve to be more than just your sometimes. Maybe one day, you’ll realize that I was an incredible person that would have moved mountains for you. Maybe one day you’ll regret the choice that you made.

Just know, before you try to come back, that I deserved better than how you treated me. I deserved to be more than just a sometimes. I deserved to be loved whole-heartedly, and you couldn’t do that when you had the chance.

“And now all your love is wasted, then who the hell was I? Cause now I’m breaking at the britches, and at the end of all your lines”

Goodbye, my almost.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
